To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
am tempted to ask ii an action at law would
not lie justly against person, or say landlady
OF bOarding-hou who had enticed a valuable
ter for family living happily, with good ana
tented servants to have those servants surrepti-
tiouSly Seduced away from them by the big PROM
1ses OF some greedy landlady, envious neighbour.
And this, too, at the beginning OF the season.
desire My family are just now undergoing this
ordeal in losing a contented, well-paid and Valua-
bic servant. who has been wrought upon by bril-
berry, or big promises, from an outside party, and
The Wholc family are put to confusion and dis
order. No good citizen can refuse TO condemn the
woman who may be guilty Of such things. There
Is much or this done in Washington, and ain In
cl1ued TO test such a case before a Jury Public
opinion should suppress such injurious actions
